The Cassingham Earth Day Celebration was April 30, with a picnic outside during lunch. To have a TRASH FREE lunch, please try to do the following:
1. Start with a reusable lunchbox.
2. Pack sandwiches and other lunch items in reusable containers. Avoid prepackaged foods and baggies whenever possible. Or reuse the baggie each day if possible.
3. Include a drink in a refillable bottle. Do not use juice boxes and cans if possible.
4. Add reusable utensils.
5. Use a cloth napkin.
Packing a trash free lunch does not only have to happen once a year. You can pack a lunch like this every day!
Here are some tips for making it work:
1. Pack lunches in the evening.
2. Maximize leftovers.
3. Buy whole fruits and vegetables rather than pre-packaged ones.
4. Buy other foods in bulk such as chips, crackers, and nuts. Pack these in a reusable containers.
5. Write your name on all your containers.
